Hurricane Felix seen since ISS 09/2007 - Hurricane Felix seen over Cuba by members of Expedition 15 of the International Space Station. 3 September 2007. This view of Hurricane Felix was taken from the Earth - orbiting International Space Station (ISS) by an Expedition 15 crewmember using a digital still camera equipped with a 28 - 70 mm lens set at 32 mm focal length on Sept. 3, 2007 at 11:39:56 GMT. The ISS was located at the nadir point of 20.4 degrees north latitude and 80.4 degrees west longitude, over Pickle Bank, the waters between Grand Cayman Island and Cuba. At approximately noon GMT, Hurricane Felix was near 14.2 degrees north latitude and 76.9 degrees west longitude, about 260 miles (425 kilometers) south of Kingston Jamaica, and 425 miles (685 kilometers) east of Cabo Gracias a Dios on the Nicaragua/Honduras border, moving west at 21 miles per hour (33 kilometers per hour). The sustained winds were 165 miles per hour with higher gusts making it a category 5 on the Saffir - Simpson scale

Hurricane Ike seen by satellite 09/2008 - Hurricane Ike above Cuba 09/2008 - Hurricane Ike seen over Cuba on 7 September 2008. Image obtained by the American satellite Aqua. Just an hour and a half after this image of Hurricane Ike was captured by the MODIS on NASA's Aqua satellite on September 7, 2008, the National Hurricane Center released its 2:00 p.m. EDT public advisory, warning residents of Cuba and other Caribbean islands, as well as the Florida Keys, that Ike was a dangerous Category 4 hurricane, with winds near 135 mph (215 kilometers per hour), with higher gusts. The image shows Ike approaching eastern Cuba, the eye just west of Great Inagua Island (one of the Turks and Caicos Islands). According to later advisories, Ike made landfall as a Category 3 storm, with winds around 125 miles per hour. Heavy rains were predicted to cause deadly floods and mudslides in mountainous parts of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and Cuba

Glacier Viedma, Argentina - Viedma Glacier in Argentina - The Viedma Glacier in Argentina, observed from the International Space Station on January 10, 2004. This detailed view was taken with an 800 mm lens from the International Space Station on 10 January, 2004. The image shows the lower end of the Viedma Glacier that flows into Lake Viedma, one of three major glacially formed lakes on the Patagonian side of the southern Andean ice sheet, at 50 degrees South. The image reveals the slender dark lines of rock material (moraine) which is carried in the slowly flowing ice. Lighter lines at right angles are patterns of crevasse. The glacier diverges into two lakes where calved icebergs can be seen floating in the lakes. The glacier here is about 1.8 km wide

Deforestation in Brazil - 2000 - Deforestation in Brazil - 2000 - View of deforestation in Rondonia, one of the Brazilian states where deforestation is the most intensive. In 1978, deforestation covered 4200 square km of the state, in 1988 about 30,000 square km and in 2003 about 67,000 square km. Image obtained by Terra satellite on 30 July 2000. The Amazon forest appears in green, the areas deforested in light colours. The state of Rondonia in western Brazil is one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon. In the past three decades, clearing and degradation of the state's original 208,000 square kilometers of forest (about 51.4 million acres, an area slightly smaller than the state of Kansas) has been rapid: 4,200 square kilometers cleared by 1978; 30,000 by 1988; and 53,300 by 1998. By 2003, an estimated 67,764 square kilometers of rainforest - - an area larger than the state of West Virginia - - had been cleared. Here is a satellite image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite taken on July 30, 2000. Intact forest is deep green, while cleared areas are tan (bare ground) or light green (crops, pasture, or occasionally, second - growth forest)
